Think this works very well -like the limited palette and you've captured the chirpy, busy nature of the sparrows

Thank you Hilary and Jenny, forgot to mention colours, they were burnt umber, ultramarine, yellow ochre and titanium white 😊

Super colour choice Linda, with that hint of I think yellow ochre. The gray border if good as well.
